Roasted Fig and Goat Cheese Recipe

INGREDIENTS

• 12 Black Mission figs, halved vertically
• 1 Tbs unsalted butter
• 3 Tbs balsamic vinegar
• 3 Tbs honey
• 2-3 ounces fresh goat cheese
• Flaky sea salt, to taste

PREPARATION:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
2. While the oven preheats, melt the butter in a small saucepan, along with the balsamic vinegar, honey, and a hefty pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook about 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
3. Place the figs, cut side up, in a baking dish the size of a pie pan. Top each fig half with a 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp of goat cheese. Drizzle the balsamic vinegar syrup over the figs.
4. Roast in the oven until very soft, 10 to 15 minutes.
5. Arrange on a platter and sprinkle with flaky salt.
